Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Creating a county of care
• Basic needs for people in need
• Access to basic needs is my priority. The CPS-Model is my vision.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

My priority is making basic needs more accessible to the people of Guildford County.

Raising the quality of life for everyone regardless of social standing, income, ability or skill-set starts with innovative models and care for people. One such model is the CPS-model.

Correct Priority Society Model, (CPS-Model) is a countywide worker program that empowers people to work a minimum of 8-14 hours a week in any of the sectors related to basic needs (natural food, clean water, shelter from the elements, collective infrastructure and consensual education) and in return for that work people earn consistent access to their individual basic needs, in the amount they need it. Using the CPS-Model to ensure people have consistent access to their basic needs is an ideal way to shield Guilford county from inconsistent job market and other economic factors. The exchange of minimal work for basic needs does not include monetary compensation, so it's not in direct competition with the for-profit economy. The CPS-Model is open to anyone, regardless of their existing income, so the money normally spent on basic needs can be diverted towards participating in a competitive for-profit economy for the things that we all want or otherwise struggle to afford. more info: https://fahiymhanna.com/cps-model/
